Amahl and the Night Visitors

December 13th through Dec 15th, 2024

Stephen B. Humphrey Theater, Saint John’s University

Amahl and the Night Visitors tells the story of Amahl, a young disabled boy with a vivid imagination, whose life changes when three kings—on a journey to honor a wondrous child—seek shelter at his home. Amahl’s mother is skeptical and desperate over their poverty, but she is moved by the king’s generosity. When she attempts to take their gold to care for her son, the kings forgive her, recognizing her hardship. Inspired, Amahl selflessly offers his crutch as a
gift for the child, leading to a miraculous healing. The story beautifully illustrates themes of faith, compassion, and the transformative power of giving.

Join Saint John’s Prep Theatre as they bring to life these 23 life-size puppets commissioned by Queen Elizabeth the 2nd.
